Not Taking NO For An Answer

The man simply cannot hear. That must be it. He is supposed to be quite intelligent so that means if he could hear, he would understand.

More For Everyone For Free

Well, yes, the CBO does admit that getting healthcare for 31 million more people will cost a paltry trillion dollars but it will be "offset"! Apparently "offset" is some kind of magical technique that allows you to pay for everything and not have it cost you a cent. In the real world that means you want to get something and will require someone else to pay for it. In government, that means new taxes and lots of them.

House Minority Leader Reacts

It would be hard to disagree when you find the Messiah sticking with stuff like this:

Medicare hospital insurance and the Supplemental Medical Insurance Trust Fund will increase respectively by increasing the rate for "high-income households" -- $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly -- and by taxing unearned income like dividends, interest, annuities, rents and royalties.

Only in a Wonderland world would someone try to keep a straight face while describing "dividends, interest, annuities, rents and royalties" as unearned income. I get some royalty checks. They aren't huge but believe me they were earned with a lot of hard work. Investing to gain dividends and interest requires work to earn the money to invest. Hardly unearned. Rents are paid for property that someone owns, which means they earned it.

Any other interpretation is a facade for socialism and confiscation of wealth.

Obama is also hoping to allow the government to deny or roll back egregious insurance premium increases that infuriate consumers.

In Bamster World, the customer can be infuriated whenever they wish to pay less for a product than the provider wants. There apparently is no relationship to what the costs are for the provider or what margin of profit is required to stay in business or what efforts must be made to compete in a free market. No, in his Harvard perspective, prices are governed simply by what feels good. Business is there simply to meet needs and not offend government or masses without regard to whether they can succeed.

The bright side to this is at the end of a tunnel over the ensuing months until the November election. If the fool on the hill and his slavering minions in the legislature continue to be hard of hearing, they are going to drive a huge defeat for that bunch. If only we can survive through the experience.
